What is Mat Tower Springs?

The Mat Tower Springs Workshop explores how springs and bars—from push-through to roll-back—can completely transform your Mat practice. By layering resistance and support onto classic exercises, you’ll uncover new levels of strength, precision, and control.

Think of it as Mat work with superpowers: familiar movements become richer, deeper, and more connected thanks to the intelligent use of the Tower.

Why Springs Matter in Pilates

Springs are the heart of the Pilates method. They bring:

  • Resistance that challenges strength.

  • Support that guides alignment.

  • Feedback that helps you find the right muscles.

By adding springs to the Mat, you turn each exercise into a chance to build strength and awareness in ways bodyweight alone can’t provide.

What to Expect in the Workshop

Over 90 minutes, you’ll:

  • Explore push-through, roll-back, and other classical spring variations.

  • Learn how to adapt Tower work to enhance Mat exercises.

  • Discover strategies to bring variety and progression into your teaching.

  • Experience how springs deepen core engagement and spinal mobility.

A Fresh Perspective on the Mat

Many people think of the Mat as the foundation of Pilates—and it is. But by adding springs, you’ll gain a fresh perspective that takes your practice to a whole new level. It’s like seeing your favorite song performed with a new arrangement—familiar, yet exciting and transformative.

Teaching Toolkit Expansion

For teachers, this workshop offers practical tools you can use right away:

  • Creative variations to re-energize classes.

  • Fresh sequencing ideas for group or private clients.

  • Deeper cues for connection, alignment, and strength.

  • Progressions and regressions that keep all levels engaged.

Your students will thank you for bringing new life to their Mat practice.

Unlocking Hidden Strength

Springs don’t just add challenge—they reveal hidden strength. With the right setup, movements become clearer, more precise, and more powerful. Expect to surprise yourself with what your body can do when given both resistance and support.
